4Department of Human Anatomy, National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, The Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine, Vinnytsya, 21018, Ukraine ABSTRACT: Professor Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov (1810-1881) was an anatomist, surgeon, and scientist. He studied in Moscow and Berlin, and was one of the founders of modern surgery and aseptic procedures. He described the use of plaster for the treatment of fractures, and the use of ether as an anesthetic in combat medicine. He published a number of papers on anatomy and surgery. He died on December 5, 1881, of oral cancer. His body was embalmed by anatomist Professor David Ilyich Vyvodstev (18301896), and placed in a tomb in the Church of St. Nicholas in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. The first inspection of the body was performed by a commission of experts in 1927. This was followed by several re-embalmings of the body in the 1950s and 1980s by a team led by Professor Rafail Davidovich Sinelnikov (1896-1981), and several other procedures in the 1980s and 1990s by experts from Moscow's V.I. Lenina, (now VILAR: All-Russian Research Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants), until 2011. In 2017, regular care of the body was taken over by Ukrainian scientists, who, in 2018, performed all tissue and fluid analyses to determine the body’s state of preservation, and subsequent reembalmings. The results of microscopic and ultramicroscopic analysis showed some destructive changes in skin, skeletal muscle, and bone tissues. Despite these changes, however, the tissues of the body are relatively well preserved.

3 Departamento de Anatomía FMVZ-UAEMex. Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia. Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México. Toluca, México . ABSTRACT: Different pathological events occur to the male urethra, and various surgical protocols have been developed to resolve them. Despite the clinical interest involving the urethra of male dogs in the literature there are only a few reported anatomical investigations. The aim of this study was to create a three-dimensional model of the urethra by means of a corrosion cast to describe and record the structure of the pelvic and penile urethra. These casts of male dog urethras were useful to observe the pelvic and penile portions of the urethra. Morphological details of the inner surface of the urethra remained imprinted on the casts. These replicas can improve understanding of anatomical considerations needed to treat clinical and surgical pathology of the urethra.

: There are only a few methods of preserving bodies that keep them in excellent condition for decades. These methods were developed mostly to sustain the cult of a political leader. Of the long-term embalmed bodies, only V.I. Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, the body of Professor Pyrogov, Rosalia Lombardo, and the corpse of a man in the Omsk Anatomical Museum, remain on display. The other bodies were subsequently buried in a tomb. Mention may also be made of the embalmed body of Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, exhibited 1989-2012, which was embalmed by Philippine embalmer Frank Malabed. The body was original with a wax mask on his face. The embalming of the Vatican popes is carried out by the funeral home of Signoracci. Embalming solutions contain formaldehyde, ethanol, glycerine, sodium acetate, potassium acetate and thymol, or use paraffin impregnation. In most cases, it is also necessary to maintain standard environmental conditions such as humidity and air temperature. This paper provides an overview of the major and most successful embalming techniques, with a focus on the Soviet-Russian method and its development.

Department of Biology, Union University, Jackson, TN 38305 USA. ABSTRACT: Plastinated tissues have gained popularity due to their structural integrity and the ease in handling and storing. Specimens can lose natural (or added) color throughout the plastination process, and so one objective of coloration is to restore natural color. A second objective of this study was to measure color change, both objectively and by subjective visualization of coloration. Coloration was investigated using 3 pigments added at 4 defined points during the 5-stage plastination process, using squirrel leg muscle samples. Each of the 12 experimental groups, and an untreated sample, were analyzed by measuring the Euclidean distance and CIE2000 E values. Statistical analysis indicated that none of the coloration treatments restored natural coloration. However, the coloration did show subjective improvement in the contrast among tissues. The results showed that pigment addition prior to acetone dehydration, or prior to silicone impregnation, resulted in the best coloration, and that the use of Rit dye was most effective. Use of this approach was subsequently validated using human arm tissue, which consists of more tissue variety than squirrel legs.
